Community is an American television sitcom created by Dan Harmon that ran for episodes. The show, set at the fictional Greendale Community College , depicts the on-campus exploits of a close-knit study group. Ken Jeong joined the main cast starting with the second episode, and Jim Rash was promoted to the main cast at the start of the third season. John Oliver , Jonathan Banks , Paget Brewster , and Keith David also played major roles throughout their stints while not actually being credited among the main cast.
The series also features recurring characters, mainly fellow students or teachers at Greendale. The show revolves around the on-and-off campus exploits of seven students connected through their study group at Greendale Community College. His father divorced his mother when Jeff was very young and later had another child named Willy Jr.
At the age of 10, he was bullied and humiliated in front of his friends at a YMCA over a game of foosball , eventually wetting his pants. Unbeknownst to either of them at the time, the girl who beat him was his study-group peer Shirley, who was then 12 and a bully. He tells her that he had to change schools, as well as his hair, his clothes, even his personality because of the incident. In , around age 19, Jeff submitted an audition tape for MTV's The Real World: Seattle , which would later come back to haunt him during an election for Greendale's student-body president.
In the season 5 episode " Geothermal Escapism ", as study-group member Troy is about to leave Greendale, Jeff discreetly reveals to him that he has "never set one foot outside Colorado". Jeff's adventures include stints as a member of the debate team and substitute glee club, and editor of the school newspaper, as well as efforts to improve Chang's professional and love lives.
Due to his competitive nature and air of superiority, Jeff has a problematic relationship with his accounting, billiards, and pottery professors, and he ends up doing poorly in their classes. One of his remarkable traits is his perfectly unkempt hair and the mystery of how he maintains its bed-headed perfection, which Dean Pelton describes as "crispy" to the touch.
